Idols From Within: Inner Freedom

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this verse through the I AM is to see that an idol is not a statue but a state of consciousness you grant authority over your life. An idol is any image your imagination has invested with absolute power—money, reputation, love, or a spiritual system—until it eclipses the awareness that you are the I AM. When you accept a form as reality, you submit to it; when you question it and return to the living presence within, the idol dissolves. The command invites you to resist worship of images and to awaken to the truth that God, the I AM, is the only reality behind appearances. Your world reflects the inner state you entertain. Therefore, cultivate a steady inner life: imagine yourself as the one and only presence, feel the reality of the I AM here and now, and watch fear, lack, or attachment recede like shadows at dawn. The inner alignment replaces idols with an unshakable sense of divine sonship and omnipresent life.
